    Do You Need Any 3D printing, Injection Molding, 3D CAD design or Prototyping?

    MARKETPLACE 
    @Marc B. Just the material usage and shipping are the only factors determining pricing. Shipping is typically only 5.99 for most objects we have been doing. A average price with customers ordering prints is about 120 per print. These are items that are larger than 4x4x4 inches. 3D Design time...

    @Developmental I have answered your questions in red. :) 1. What grade of stainless do you use? a. Technically we offer two types, 15-5 & 17-4. However, we have found 17-4 to be less than ideal for use in some cases – I always steer people to 15-5. PH1 or 15-5 is a precipitation...

    A big reason to 3D print is to prototype, of course. It's more cost effective than traditional prototyping, and we can tweak the CAD file before it gets to the printer to make sure everything will come out just right. It also takes less time to go from idea to physical product. Using 3D...

    @Robbypz If larger objects are needed, we can always print in pieces as well. :)

    @justbreathe You could take a picture of a drawing, and send it to our email, that would be the best way. Unless you already have a CAD file you could send us.

    How I wound up myself by buying a franchisee

    I'm confused.. Not because I don't get the percentages or the business model, but by the size of the revenue. What is the top performing competitor in your industry bringing in from sales?

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    The way I see it is this. If I stopped what I was doing in my business to learn to program my marketplace, I would not be meeting with the companies that are going to service my clients, I would not have time to work on a marketing campaign, I would not have the time to solicit clients or follow...

    Today is my 1 year TMF anniversary

    GOLD! MINDSET
